Havelock Avenue Improvements Begin Monday

Havelock Avenue, between North 73rd and 84th streets, will close Monday, November 5 through July 2019 for a street resurfacing project. Traffic will be detoured to Adams Street. N. 84th Street will remain open throughout the project. Alternate access to businesses or properties via Havelock Ave. is being arranged with property owners. The Lancaster Event Center will be accessible from N. 84th Street.

This work is part of a larger project to improve the safety and condition of Havelock Avenue, between 73rd and 90th streets, including the intersection at N. 84th Street. The project includes resurfacing Havelock Avenue and upgrading storm drainage and street light systems.

Safety, traffic flow and infrastructure improvements at the N. 84th Street and Havelock Avenue intersection include adding and expanding turn lanes, installing a new traffic signal, constructing a new storm drainage system and water main, and upgrading sidewalk ramps and street lights. The new design of the intersection will better accommodate increased traffic volume from residential growth and Lancaster Event Center programming. Utility work is being coordinated with the street project to minimize impact.
